(9,653 posts)...that you are claiming is a disingenuous oversimplification.
The Palestinian people do not equal hamas.
The Jewish people do not equal Israeli government.
And I have to add that I have seen quite a lot of anti-Palestinian misinformation, for years, as well as quite a lot of anti-Jewish misinformation for a lot longer than that.
I have also noticed that some people are intentionally confusing the issue by conflating civilians with government bodies, and I find that to be a form of misinformation about all four groups.
So I agree that using antisemitic tropes to blame one side entirely while casting the other side as innocents, or using anti-Palestinian tropes to blame one side entirely while casting the other side as innocents, is a misrepresentation of the I/P conflict.
I have been framing all of my statements to clearly express whether I am speaking about hamas or Palestinian/Gaza civilians, as well as whether I am speaking about Israel or Israeli citizens.
It's the best I can do.
